I'm glad that you enjoyed this game! Some of your reactions to the characters' fates took me back to when I played the series on Vita haha. It was also nice to see you mention the extra stuff like Distrust.
I will warn you now, if you are playing the trilogy through on the Switch's Decadence Collection... V3 is poorly optimized during certain class trial sections and I actually struggled to complete some of the mini games because of how laggy it was (when it ran perfectly on the Vita). It's possible they patched it since I played it after the first or second patch, but keep it in mind.
It is still doable, but it's a bit of a shame because I love this series. I hope you enjoy Goodbye Despair and V3 provided you complete them as well!
